The crystal stands with a naturally formed prismatic structure and a preserved termination that captures light with precision and intensity. Its outer body displays a warm heliodor yellow tone, while the interior unfolds a complex world of lime green threads and branching pathways that appear suspended within the crystal itself. Under direct light, these internal structures resemble organic networks, evoking neural pathways or delicate botanical veins spreading through a translucent medium. This phenomenon creates remarkable depth and movement, transforming the crystal from a static object into a dynamic visual experience. The internal reflections shift as the angle changes, producing flashes of green and gold that travel through the prism like living currents. The surface lustre is clean and vitreous, enhancing both the clarity and the internal complexity of the specimen. Natural growth textures and subtle internal features speak to its geological history, shaped slowly and without human intervention. The result is a Heliodor that balances elegance and raw authenticity, offering both aesthetic impact and mineralogical presence in equal measure. Specifications: • Weight: 1.51 g • Weight in carats: 7.55 ct • Dimensions: 14 × 9 × 8 mm • Origin: Erongo Mountains, Namibia • Mineral: Heliodor • Crystal system: Hexagonal • Crystal habit: Naturally formed prismatic crystal with preserved termination • Colour: Golden yellow with internal lime green structures • Transparency: Transparent to translucent • Lustre: Vitreous • Condition: Natural, unpolished, untreated Notable Points: • Displays a rare combination of strong heliodor yellow colour with vivid internal green structures • Internal formations form complex branching patterns that evoke organic or neural networks • Exceptional internal light play when exposed to direct illumination • Well defined natural termination enhances overall crystal symmetry • Prismatic faces remain sharp and reflective, contributing to visual clarity • Internal depth creates a sense of movement and layered dimension • Natural growth features preserved without polishing or enhancement • Colour concentration remains strong throughout the crystal body • Internal patterns are unique and non repeatable by nature • High aesthetic balance between transparency and internal complexity • Compact size with strong visual impact for display or macro photography • Originating from Erongo, a world class locality for premium Heliodor specimens Collector’s Interest: Heliodor specimens of this quality are increasingly scarce, particularly those combining saturated colour with distinctive internal architecture. Collectors value pieces like this for their individuality and visual storytelling, as no two internal networks ever form alike. The Erongo Mountains are globally recognised for producing Heliodor of exceptional character, and this specimen reflects that reputation through its clarity, colour and internal expression. Lapidary Potential: Although visually striking in its natural state, the crystal also presents technical potential for lapidary consideration due to its clarity and colour concentration. However, any cutting would inevitably remove the intricate internal structures that define its uniqueness, making this specimen especially suited for preservation as a natural crystal. —————— Shipping and Handling: All orders are shipped by UPS express or National Express. • Dispatch time: within 1 to 2 business days after payment confirmation to Catawiki • Transit time with Express service: up to 3 business days within europe and worldwide • A tracking number is always provided Photography and transparency: All photos were taken under controlled light conditions, carefully selected to reproduce the most accurate natural colour of each specimen.
